Berlin's Greatest Hits: Food, Beer & History Tour

4.8
(76 reviews)
Berlin, Germany

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Dive into Berlin Mitte, the heart of the capital on a 2-hour journey and experience Berlin's greatest bites and sites.

Two hours is all it takes to hit Berlin's greatest hits: the food, drink and history that define Mitte, without days of planning. You'll start with a fresh döner kebab paired with a Kindl-and-Pilsner beer pairing, then pause opposite the grand facades of Museum Island. From there, sip a Berliner Weisse cocktail in a bar that's poured drinks since the night before German reunification, wander a street art alley layered with Jewish heritage and postwar history, and settle the currywurst debate that's split Berliners for decades, East style or West. The walk closes with a donut, fresh and unhurried.

Small group, capped at 12, so there's room for questions and conversations. The pace stays relaxed, giving you time to enjoy tastings and learn history.

    Next follows a tart Berliner Weisse beer cocktail in a bar opened in 1990, a day before reunification, as a meeting point for once-divided artists and Berliners. The beer itself, centuries old, was once nicknamed the Champagne of the North

    Discover Berlin's edgiest hidden corners: a street art alley that came alive after the Wall fell, now packed with murals and moody bars. Underneath is Jewish heritage, WWII history and postwar revival, an authentic time capsule.

    Settle in for Berlin's defining dish: Currywurst, sliced and doused in curry ketchup the way locals have enjoyed it for decades. East Berlin or West Berlin does it better? You'll get to taste both and decide for yourself.
